| 83. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 12:22 I think there are several issues; 1. RC players that may travel from the north 2. Away supporters travelling from the north 3. Amber weather warning in the north and the challenges travelling to and from the game 4. Cost of putting on the undersoil heating given the points above 5. Early decision to avoid unnecessary travel Sensible all-around decision in my view in light of the above G Wardrope Post Edited (Sat 03 Jan 13:51) Reply |
| 84. Author: GJS93 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 12:24 we arent using the undersoil heating....thats why they bought covers! buying them if they cant handle this kind of weather is pointless though. Reply |

| 86. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 12:54 Lucho_8, Sat 3 Jan 12:27 So what if the pitch had been passed playable ? That would cause a big drama. Reply |
| 87. Author: Jock Par36 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 12:58 Time we had Summer football. August to mid December then a break, then February to June. Reply |

| 89. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 13:09 Jock Par36, Sat 3 Jan 12:58 That would work nicely with a 16 team league and 8 less fixtures in a season so can have a proper winter break. Wont hold our breaths though. Reply |
| 90. Author: neils Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 13:12 I don`t see a winter break working to be honest You have clubs , especially part time ones , having to pay wages with no income. Reply |

| 92. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 13:48 I remember the summer football, lying sunbathing at the Cowdenbeath end and watching the game! Reply |
| 93. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 14:20 neils, Sat 3 Jan 13:12 Is that not the same scenario as the summer break we’ve had since Adam was laddie - just a different time of the year/season ? Reply |
| 94. Author: ipswichpar Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 14:30 Is it not in the clubs favour to have a longer summer break and more time with players being out of contract? I expect there`s an easy way around it but change always puts people off. And I would be up for it if it meant the Tennents Sixes started again! Reply |
| 95. Author: Jock Par36 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 15:08 Ireland, Norway, Sweden and Finland play their football during the summer months, and they don`t have any problems. Reply |
| 96. Author: neils Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 15:51 Well it would work if it`s just a straight season, rather than a winter break to split, not sure if it would work or not. Reply |
| 97. Author: Jock Par36 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 16:31 I think i would rather go to watch football in summer clothes rather than Thick pullovers, big jackets woolly socks long johns ect. Reply |
| 98. Author: BouncyPar Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 17:07 Jock Par36, Sat 3 Jan 16:31 100% agree. There`s always been something romantic about football played in the snow, under floodlights, crisp winter air etc, but realistically as the candles on the cake increase, the joints take longer to thaw out after sitting for a couple of hours on a cold, damp plastic seat each week. I`ll still turn up each cold January match, but I`d be much more comfortable with July weather Reply |
| 99. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 17:12 Would the attendance really improve? Family holidays, etc., and people tend to plan more when it`s nicer weather than the winter months. What would happen in the Euros and WC years? This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 100. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Sat 3rd Jan 2026. 17:28 Sacktheref69, Sat 3 Jan 17:12 The evidence of the Cup fixtures in July would point to no on this one, for the reasons mentioned above. Loving You, Is In My DNA 🇾🇪 Reply |
